No llvmpipe support

Why no llvmpipe rendering?

Hey 👋

Why should llvmpipe be supported, what would you require it for?

I'm not an expert, but as far as I know it's basically a software implementation of OpenGL. Not only that means that it's very slow compared to an actual one, hence that you probably won't get very far using it; but also that I don't really see what could be explicitly supported, as this is something that should be used when executing a graphical application, hence after everything has been built. It should simply be a matter of properly setting environment variables to use a specific .so/.dll, as mentioned on llvmpipe's official page: https://docs.mesa3d.org/drivers/llvmpipe.html#using. What would you need an explicit "support" for?

Closing this issue; feel free to reopen it if that did not answer your question.
